Ahh the old arbitrary deprive pro's of survival points rears its cheeks again,hopefully they all get their (_|_)'s handed to them in their first match against proper listed ranking pro's.

I'm surprised at that one, he sounded deadly serious when he said he'd had enough. Wonder what's inspired him to pick up his cue again?

Patrick Wallace 5-0 John Parrott
Justin Astley 5-0 Les Dodd

So John Parrott's come-back is over, almost before it got started. It was a good solid display from Wallace, but JP must be very disappointed with his performance, he had chances, but kept breaking down, running out of position or missing regulation pots.

In the end I thought he did well to come out of it 5 - 0.

David Singh 5-0 Ali Bassiri

Jamie O'Neill pulls a few frames back, to take his match with David Gray to a decider.

Why does O'Neill have the patch on his waistcoat obscured? Is that SWSA?

[PatBlock]

O'Neill takes the decider of a very entertaining match then, and goes on to play Stephen Ormerod this evening.

Why oh why does this happen every single year? I don't know the in's and out's of it, but i do know that there are significantly better 'amateur' players out there. Much more deserving of a chance to compete in the biggest tournament in the world. Why has this not been addressed??? They could open it right up to all amateurs and let them battle it out right upto the seedings. Then you would be left with far more superior qualifiers than this! It would be just like they do with darts! the opportunity to come all the way through and possibly win! (i did say possibly). Any thoughts? or alternatives?
